Giant-Size (2025): House Of M #1

Jul 17, 2025

Giant-Size House of M isn't quite as strong as some of its predecessors in the series, lacking the concentrated narrative of Giant-Size Dark Phoenix Saga #1 and Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse #1. However, the scenes between Kamala and Kitty truly stand out, allowing Kamala to share her valuable life experiences and connect with how the mutant metaphor resonates deeply for many in real life.

Magik (2025) #7

Jul 9, 2025

Magik #7 may be light on plot, but it effectively introduces the final key players for the explosive concluding three issues. It sets the stage for the girls' pivotal Vegas mission, which will either mend or break Dani and Magik's friendship, and firmly establishes the long-looming threat of Liminal. While primarily an expository issue, it successfully serves its purpose by setting up a compelling finale.

Phoenix (2024) #13

Jul 23, 2025

Phoenix #13 picks up the pace from previous issues, driving the story forward and revealing significant character developments. However, it remains choppy, with character voices feeling lifeless, and their actions needlessly dramatic. While the artist demonstrates solid fundamental skills and works diligently, the art lacks the polish and experience necessary to truly elevate the book.

Uncanny X-Men (2024) #17

Jul 9, 2025

Uncanny X-Men #17 is a mixed bag, showing the promise of Gail's writing as well as the pitfalls. While the initial premise was delightful, if not slightly muddled, the issue ultimately leads the story to take a turn for the worse. Let's hope this story arc regains the quality of the issue's first half, rather than continuing the decline of the latter.

Uncanny X-Men (2024) #18

Jul 23, 2025

Uncanny X-Men #18 offers a heartwarming, character-focused story that emphasizes human-mutant solidarity. While its charming interactions and refreshing change of pace are highlights, some minor plot points feel rushed or underdeveloped. Readers looking for action or high drama, however, might find this issue falls short.

X-Men (2024) #18

Jul 8, 2025

X-Men #18 serves as a mostly satisfying conclusion to the five-issue arc, resolving the key conflicts, albeit sometimes in rushed terms, and presenting a new dilemma for the future. While the lack of answers may frustrate some readers, and the overall pacing leans more towards the decompressed side than the efficient side, there's enough emotion and intrigue in this issue to build momentum for what comes next.

X-Men: Age of Revelation (2025) #0

Jul 16, 2025

X-Men: Age of Revelation #0 is an indispensable read for anyone following Jed MacKay's X-Men, providing an enticing and exciting preview of what's to come. While some readers might be wary of yet another “Age of Apocalypse” homage so soon after Sins of Sinister and Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse, Age of Revelation #0 offers enough intrigue and unique story elements to stand apart.
